Worth staying again and again

Location: There is no more central location that this hotel--and yet on a quiet side street with good restaurants with meters from the front door.

Wonderful staff, including people at check-in, bar, restaurant, and rest of the staff. Terrific location. 15 minute walk to train station (or 5 minutes by cab). 20 minutes to the airport.

Beautiful hotel close to the Arena.

Posted Jun 4, 2015

Pros: Charming hotel, good breakfast. Great location.

Location: Museums, town square with great restaurants, nice boutiques for shopping. Roman Arena with evening concerts.

Staff was courteous and professional. Charming hotel. We had a beautiful room, one block from the Arena, yet it was a quiet street.

Beautiful historic hotel

Posted Jun 3, 2015

Pros: All of the above.

Cons: Nothing. In fact, I will be returning next week, and look forward to it.

Location: About a block from the major historic sites of the city, a block from Piazza Bra.

The facilities were excellent and the location definitely could not be beat--right in the heart of Verona, yet on a quite side street. Wonderful staff, nice bar and garden, and great room.

Good location. Unfriendly staff.

Posted May 21, 2015

Pros: The location is perfect.

Cons: The front desk staff does not seem to be accessible. They don't seem to want Americans to stay there (we don't speak much Italian)

Location: Right near the Coliseum and historic sights . Dinner at Locando 4 Cuochi (recommended by the front desk) was fabulous.

We arrived at noon and the woman at the front desk seemed very overwhelmed even though we were the only ones checking in . She seemed annoyed by our request for a map and some help with our location . After sightseeing we stopped at the desk for our key and to ask for a dinner suggestion . The man gave us the name of Locando 4 Cuochi a block away but did not offer to call to reserve a table. He wrote the name on our map but , for the life of me , I could not understand his writing . On this trip we were traveling for 18 days in northern Italy , staying at 7 different hotels . This hotel was the biggest disappointment of the trip . I don't think the personnel at this hotel want Americans .I would not recommend this hotel to friends.

Old world charm in centre of Verona

Posted May 18, 2015

Pros: We loved the bath. After a long day traipsing up and down Verona, Mantua and Vicenza, it was glorious to soak in a bath. It was also very restful.

Cons: Mattress was slightly hard and the hot water could have been hotter-luckily when we were there was a heat wave so we didn't miss the really hot water!

Location: Excellent location. Within easy walking distance from the Arena, the main shopping centre, the Via Mazzini, and some of the very beautiful churches

The Colomba d'Oro is an excellent hotel in the very heart of Verona. It is quiet, both during the day and at night, making resting and sleeping a pleasure. Breakfast is plentiful and varied, the rooms spacious and comfortable, the staff unfailingly polite, helpful and competent in English, though they love using their Italian with anyone who has a smattering of the language. I think this hotel deserves a very high rating as it combines a décor reminiscent of Renaissance Italy with all the convenience and comfort of mod cons.

Loud and bad manager

Posted May 7, 2015

I booked with free cancelation, stayed two nights of three booked and they charged me for third night anyway. Manager was worst I have dealt with in 35 years of traveling

Hotel near arena in Verona

Posted May 2, 2015

Pros: Location, staff, breakfast.

Cons: Updating of rooms, but this would take away from the charm.

Location: Close to main attractions in Verona. Easy to get around on foot.

The hotel could use some updating but the age adds a bit to the charm. It is in an excellent location not far from the main square where the roman arena is located. The room was spacious and comfortable. Enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was wonderful.
